21st June 2021 the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet signed a contract with the provider Iwi Communications Collective (ICC) to provide ongoing strategic advice and guidance to DPMC about Government COVID-19 communications and engagement strategies, messaging, creative and content, with a particular focus on reaching Iwi/Māori communities in an equitable and effective way.

An exemption to openly advertising this procurement (under Rule 14.9.c of the Government Procurement Rules and DPMC Procurement Policy) was granted on the basis that the services could only be delivered by one supplier due to the supplier being the only one in the market with the required systems, skills and experiences, and that convenes a collective of communications practitioners from Iwi nationwide and are therefore uniquely placed to provide the required link between the Government COVID-19 response and Iwi/Māori.

No Winner This was a direct source where the supplier was awarded a contract with whole of life value of $150,000.
